        !             5: .SH SYNOPSIS
        !             6: \f3labels\fP [options]
        !             7: .SH DESCRIPTION
        !             8: \fILabels\fP writes labels onto the standard output using
        !             9: coded information taken from standard input.  In the input, a line
        !            10: beginning with \f3#\fR is a label header.  Subsequent lines up to the
        !            11: next header or end-of-file are accumulated and output so as to be
        !            12: centered horizontally and vertically on pin-feed
        !            13: label forms.  Lines beginning with \f3*\fR are treated as comments
        !            14: and are ignored.
        !            15: .PP
        !            16: The following options may appear in any order:
        !            17: .IP \fI\-n\fP 0.75i
        !            18: Print \fIn\fP copies of each label.
        !            19: .IP "\f3\-s\fP\0\fIstring\fP"
        !            20: Select only those labels whose headers contain a character
        !            21: in \fIstring\fP.
        !            22: .IP \f3\-t\fP
        !            23: Format for curved tape labels (the default is to format
        !            24: for rectangular mailing labels).
        !            25: .PP
        !            26: Label forms should be used with a pin-feed platen.  For mailing labels,
        !            27: the carriage
        !            28: should be adjusted so that the first character is printed at the
        !            29: leftmost position on the label and so that the first line of the
        !            30: output is printed on the topmost line of the label.
        !            31: Since tape labels are curved, some experimentation may be required
        !            32: to get the text positioned properly.
        !            33: .SH DIAGNOSTICS
        !            34: Label lines may be at most 40 characters long and there may be
        !            35: at most eight lines per label.  If these limits are exceeded, a label
        !            36: with an error message is formatted onto standard error output.
        !            37: Thus if standard output and standard error output are directed to
        !            38: the same file, an erroneous label does not result in misformatting
        !            39: of the other labels.
